Dead Lizard

So I'm doing amazing here in the mission! My
Companion (or my dad:) His named Elder Gonzalez and he is from Utah and has
some amazing Spanish! Couldn't ask for a better First companion!

I would
also like to congratulate Preston on leaving for his mission
tomorrow!

First of all I'll start off by talking about my house! Its
really big and pink! That's about the only good thing about it haha. When
we got there, there was rotting food on the ground, trashed clothes,
dirty dishes, Birds in our ceiling, a family of cockroaches that live in
the drain of our shower, spiders everywhere. The Latinos put the used
toilet paper next to the toilet, and birds constantly fly in our house.
OH and we also found a dead lizard in our fridge! We're living the life!
Dad and Chase would love it here!

Papusas are the most popular thing
here and they are amazing! Me and my companion both got papusas and
drinks for $1.40 and $5 is a lot of money to carry around here.

We are
brand new missionaries here and so we don't really know anyone, but this
area is supposed to be blessed and a humble area. But there are certain
places that we can't go after six cause people would probably kill us but
its ok cause we have the Lord on our side! There is this crazy lady
that we have to walk by all the time to get to the bishop's house and if
we talk to her she will swear at us and throw rocks at us. I tell people I'm from Chalatenango because that's where the white Latinos are from. My name now is pronounced Es-Steal-es because that's how it sounds in
Spanish. We give out candy to all the kids so it makes up for my crappy
Spanish! Its super weird here because on guy we taught, as we said the
prayer, he prayed too with is arm at the square yelling things at us..
But all in all I love this place and I know we are doing the right
thing!
